It is with sad regret that we inform you today of the passing of one of our Clubs forefathers, Windsor Royals Life Member Mr. Desmond Knight.  Desmond or Des as he was known, passed away peacefully in his sleep on the morning of Saturday 21st August 2010 at the age of 91.  Des was a founding member of the Windsor Royals Baseball Club, and part of the team who built the field and erected the grandstand. The main grandstand at Holloway Field is named in his honor, for the tireless work and effort that he gave the Club for most of his life.

Des was also the groundsman for the club for 25 years, and spent much of his time coaching and umpiring as well. 

From all the members of the Windsor Royals, our thoughts and prayers are with the Knight family during this time.

A memorial for Des Knight will be held at Holloway Field on September 2nd 2010 at 3pm.
